Lies Your Parents Told YouI once overheard a neighbour use the phrase "nig nog". I asked my father what it meant. As quick as a flash he said, "It's a type of biscuit. A bit like a hobnob." Can you beat this? BTW: We're keeping this thread open for an extra week as we're enjoying the stories so much.

My mother......told me that she was a witch, and that because she had green eyes, she could see around corners. She was actually really convincing, because whenever I was up to something and she was in the next room, she'd shout out "STOP DOING THAT!" and I'd be amazed at her magic eyes. In actual fact, she just used to shout that whenever things went suspiciously quiet. She also knew a single card trick that fooled me for years, also attributed to her green eyes.
